My biggest problem is EA ruining things for everyone else under the guise of alot of it having to do with them stopping coinselling while simultaneously blatantly ignoring their best known community members (some of whom literally partner with them and do streams on EAs accounts etc) doing it.

which of the streamers/youtubers have a coin sponsor? because multiple streamers have openly talked openly about not accepting coin sponsors because they know it will limit them in their ability to get EA sponsored streams. I'm sure an EA sponsored stream with giveaways where these guys get 5k viewers for a whole hour, and sometimes up to 1k new subs, is worth way more than the 5% they might bring in off a coin sponsor.

Poor CC is a straight up degenerate gambler, liek as bad as gambling addiction can get -- his videos are painful to watch at this point (having many of those same addictive tendencies), he's no different than any other crakkhead / junkie, etc.  Constantly in search of that "good feeling" / dopamine release, or whatever that may mean to him.

I used to (half) jokingly suggest that i was going to create a support group, MUT Anonymous... then i became a full blown MUT-junkie, myself.  And i've begun to realize this is no laughing matter.  Especially when the bulk of this content is pushed out to literal children.  EA knows full well what they are doing and continue to laugh all the way to the bank.

Based on my limited understanding, if you run coin ads on your site, the only repercussion is that EA won't directly partner with these streamers and content creators... but otherwise EA continues to turn a blind eye.

I wasn't able to gift any of my coins or cards from `23, due to the sheer amount of scams running wild, both on this site, as well as EA outright banning folks for trying to help out community members, or kick stuff down to their friends.  And i'm currently battling my second ban from the auction house already during `24 season, accused of "coin selling" for merely listing high-demand Team Diamonds set pieces on the AH, back when Dak Prescot 83 OVR Core Elite was selling left and right for nearly ~200k each.  Look at the price history.

The chances of this ever becoming a fair, balanced and competitive H2H game is essentially zero, as long as EA has an exclusive license for fatball simulation with the NFL.  This topic remains of great interest to me.

I've actually had a whole conversation with actualCC over twitter and that dude is probably one of the most egotistical people in all of the mut community. his content, is absolutely worthless. How he makes a living off of this game through youtube is absolutely wild to me. Gutfoxx is another one, like he makes a living off of raging and complaining about a video game. Like that game pays his bills, and he is complaining. Try a real job and come back

This is what annoys me about CC too. He pretends to be a man of the people but promotes that shit all the time. Very annoying. 
 

MMG does it sometimes too, but he’s such an annoying pain in the ass that you just expect him to be a sell out...at least his WOM content is fun (when he’s not trying to be funny). CC’s content is usually lame. Blindfolded card opening? Ok man, cool.

All of these guys promote that they are the voices of the community trying to enact change for the betterment of the game. Nah, you'd sell your mom for a subscriber so they'll say anything for likes.

Is this a serious question or are you misunderstanding what we are talking about? Literally all of them. All of them literally open every single video with an ad for coinselling sites. Every single streamer, in every single video.

Lol

The only one of those guys I openly support is Madden Moneyshot, because he is entertaining and gives out good free mini schemes. He doesn't even play mut because of how he believes EA tweaks DDA behind the scenes to make us buy new cards. Otherwise, if you see them on an ea sponsored stream promote those guys, popular stranger is great for beginners, and dubby is entertaining and I think you can learn a good amount from his gameplay. Ijoebruin, upandadam, buffalokay all help with market stuff. Just stop supporting the dudes that have coin sponsors, most of them are not great people anyways.

Sorry, let me rephrase. Which youtube that has a coin sponsor, and ALSO does EA sponsored streams. Because I'm 10000% positive EA does not do sponsored streams for anyone that has coin sponsor.

Oh well, just to be clear even if that WAS true, it wouldnt change the point and is just a technicality. If they can ban players for using them they could certainly take action against people openly promoting them repeatedly if they wanted to.

All thats besides the point because just to name one recent example, popular stranger just hosted an event and stream on EAs account not long ago and he is just one or many of the people we are talking about.

I only watch MMG. No scams there
